While Darrelle Revis is waiting for the New York Jets to reward him with top cornerback money, he found time to tell a rising star at the position that he's still No. 1.

Revis (@Revis24) took to Twitter to respond to Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25), who last month tweeted that he was better than Revis.

"I never seen a man before run his mouth so much like girl," Revis tweeted at the outspoken Sherman late Wednesday afternoon. "This dude just steady putting my name in his mouth to get notoriety."

Revis then mentioned that John Geiger, his marketing and business manager, had more Twitter followers than Revis: "Sit down young pup & wait your turn."

Back on Jan. 25, Sherman boldly tweeted out a photo that showed his statistics in comparison to Revis', adding this: "Women lie, men lie, numbers don't lie."

The only problem is, while Sherman enjoyed his breakout season, Revis missed most of 2012 after tearing his ACL in his left knee in New York's second game. The four-time Jets Pro Bowler made that point in his rebuttal with Sherman.

"That's like you saying your better then Deion Sanders & since he's not playing no more he's irrelevant for what he's done," Revis added.

Once Sherman, a 2011 fifth-round steal out of Stanford, saw Revis was tweeting back at him, he didn't hold back in reestablishing his swagger. He cited that his production was better than Revis' was after his first two seasons.

"Got off my flight to this hilarious convo. So I have 8 picks 3 ff (forced fumbles) and a sack. My season stats looking like Revis career stats … For the QB not throwing his way argument. In his 2nd year they were throwing his way. I still doubled his picks."

There is a reason that both Revis and Sherman are considered to two of the league's elite cover corners. It takes a certain attitude to be a shutdown corner, and not shutting up is just part of the fun.
